In the Safety of Angels
In the safety of angels, you close your eyes and face the
dark inside you.
The angels, beautiful and transparent
are there now, in your head,
circling over the landscape
of windswept time and countless sins.
Their wings shelter you from the storm in your mind
Its thunder muffled by the beat of their wings
its dark erased by their glow.
You’ve found shelter within yourself.
You’ve seen the light.
But the dark within you is equal
to the light so what is it
you see?
